iPhone Lightning Dock - White

Overview

Charge and sync any iPhone that features the Lightning connector with the iPhone Lightning Dock. Your iPhone sits upright in the dock as it syncs or charges, so it’s perfect for a desk or worktop. Even when your iPhone is in an Apple-designed case, it’s easy to dock. And you can unlock iPhone or use Touch ID without having to remove it from the dock. The iPhone Lightning Dock features an audio port so it can be used with 3.5mm headphones that include a remote control or line-out to connect to powered speakers. And it supports other Lightning accessories, such as the Lightning to USB Cable (included with your iPhone). You can even conduct speakerphone calls with your iPhone in the dock.

Here are some ways you can use the iPhone Lightning Dock:

Connect the dock to your computer with the USB cable (included with your iPhone) to sync iPhone and charge its battery.

Connect the dock to a power point using the Apple USB Power Adapter (included with your iPhone) to charge the battery.

Place your iPhone in the dock and enjoy clear audio during speakerphone calls.

Connect powered speakers or any headphones with a 3.5mm audio jack to the dock to listen to music while you sync and charge.

Do not buy unless you want to hear your phone buzz constantly after the first few weeks of using. Apple put design above functionality - there should be something for the phone to lean against - instead the angle is wearing out the lightning port. COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY.
i've been using [trying to use] one at my office and one on my nightstand for about three months. the more i use it the worse my lightning port gets - i have to place the phone on the charger and wiggle it back and fourth to get my phone to "buzz buzz" and start charging. the SLIGHTEST movement on my desk makes the phone "buzz buzz" ("ringer off" charging notification) and connect and disconnect to my computer over and over again until i remove the phone from the dock and place it back in.
on my nightstand, in the middle of the night my phone goes "buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz" CONSTANTLY. i have to get up and unplug my phone from this thing, unplug the lightning cable from the back and just plug the cable directly into the phone. so much for propping the phone up with a nightstand app just to have a clock.

Zero For Two

I've loved my iPod classic and Apple Dock into my home stereo and big Bose speakers for years. Decided to reward myself and back up my treasured music/picture collection by buying a 128GB iPod Touch, and I love IT. But this new dock, ugh! 1. no remote compatibility like previous version and given the (well documented here) delicate attachment point, a critical fail. 2. when I attached my "line in" cable to the earphone jack, again unlike previous Apple Dock, DOES NOT WORK. So IT IS JUST A pretty $40.00 STAND. Apple continues to break my heart.

Flimsy connector, slow charge, headphones weren't working while on the dock, my phone started to suddenly turn off after plugging in and I worried that it was damaging the phone. Don't bother.

Great Idea, Horrible Design

Don't expect this to just work... After a while, you will encounter charging issues or like mine, you will lose the connection to external speakers.

If you still have wired earphones and need a way to charge and listen to you iphone, then it's OK, but otherwise, this dock is awful. I have an iPhone 7 plus and it is so hard to dock the phone. It is hard to get it on and it is so easy to tip over the phone. Apple has lost it's way on design with its accessories. Have you seen how the pencil and mouse get's its charge?

I agree it looks very flimsy but in practice it’s very sturdy.

I agree it looks very flimsy but in practice it’s very sturdy.
Apple are good at this stuff - it just works. I’ve used my dock every day for 2 years with no problem. Connection for charging and audio out is flawless

This is partly an answer and partly a question (in the "is this right" vein).
To get high-resolution audio (e.g. lossless) you need these things:
1) hi res audio source
2) ability to put it on your iPhone
3) ability for you iPhone to send the signal out to an amplifier
4) ability to convert it to analog to play on speakers
Let's assume you've solved 1 & 2
3a) can be solved by a high res music player like Onkyo HF, it claims it can handle 192k/24bit music and even higher
3b) I think if you connect an HDMI cable ($49) you theoretically are bypassing the DAC so you should also be putting out 192kHz sampling ... reality is that the Apple iPhone and iPads are limited to 48k (boo!)
4) I use my home AV receiver, Marantz 5000 and Martin Logan speakers ... even though not 96 or 192k, it sounds great!
Does this make sense? Do the other experts agree?
